(PIC) See The First Aircraft That Landed In Nigeria by imashyguy: 9:21am On Nov 07, 2015 |
The history of Nigerian aviation will be incomplete without the mention of Maiduguri and Kano city, where the first aircraft landed in Nigeria on November 1, 1925. It is exactly 90 years since the historic flights, involving three De Havilland DH 9A aircraft belonging to the Royal Air Force, RAF. Vincent Orange’s book, the “Coningham: A Biography of Air Marshal Sir Arthur Coningham”, vividly captured the expedition. The air trip, led by the then Flight Lt. Coningham, began from Helwan (a town in Egypt) to Kano, with several stopovers with Egypt, Sudan and N’Djamena – then known as Fort Lamy. Excerpts from pages 44 to 46 of the book revealed details about the journey, including how the pilots played polo with Emir of Zazzau, Ibrahim Kwasau and how Shehu of Borno Sanda Kura offered them rams. continue reading: http://www.premiumtimesng.com/features-and-interviews/192759-how-and-where-first-aircraft-landed-in-nigeria.html

The North has been the pacesetter in Nigerian aviation from the word go. From hosting the first landing, to building the first terminal, to historically dominating the airline industry with the likes of Kabo Air, Chanchangi, Albarka Air, Hold Trade, IRS Airlines etc...to hosting the only aviation academy in Nigeria (NCAT Zaria) that has been training pilots and engineers from all parts of Nigeria for decades... God bless Arewa. |

While Kano is the first place a plane landed and the first airport terminal built, Ekiti is the first place a plane crashed during the Second World War. |
